To the contrary, if we're the only intelligent life in the Universe, then let's be thankful that it hasn't spread. If we exterminate ourselves, then the problem is solved. Humans aren't capable of transcending our inherent violence and stupidity on the scale that we're at now. We were fine beating each other over the head with clubs, now not so much with nuclear bombs. The evidence is clear. I don't expect a sea change anytime soon.

Beautiful! A bit nihilistic but funny none the less!
